Summer Skiing in Jackson Hole | Cody Peak & The Tram

The tram is back open in Jackson Hole! This is probably the easiest way to slide on snow in Jackson Hole at the moment, with higher elevations still holding good conditions in Grand Teton National Park but longer dirt approaches required. We went out yesterday to enjoy the combination of tank tops, mini-arches, sun cups, corn, skinning, scrambling, beer and tram rides:

Jackson Hole tram: the easiest way to gain 4k+ vert. Summer operations for the tram started yesterday and the skiing is still pretty decent up high. JHMR only allows out-of-bounds skiing, but it’s easy to traverse out to Cody Peak for a lap or two. Skinning back to the top of the tram and riding it back down is the best way to do it this season as the snow doesn’t go too low at this point.

A look at how Cody Peak is holding snow right now. Four Shadows skied well and reports from Powder 8’s sounded like the best snow around. Pucker is a mess and probably a no go without getting pretty aggressive. Groups were skiing Once is Enough and No Name as well.

Beer thirty at Corbet’s Cabin is followed up with a nice tram ride to the bottom

Now go ride bikes!
